The editors didn't like
A little pricey
Depending on your config
No SD card slot
Competing systems offer better storage
Higher-end graphics options
Very large external power brick
Small size limits expandability and upgrade options
Bottom Line
The Alienware X51 gaming desktop goes after the console gamer that wants a bit more out of their gaming experience
Small size means minimal expandability
Blu-ray drive is a $100 extra
Doesn't support highest-end graphics cards
Ultimately limited upgrade options
Limited upgradability
Necessarily limited expansion options
330watt power supply and physical issues mean replacing the video card is tricky. Still more expensive than a DIY system. Power brick is the size of a man's shoe
Bundled peripherals seem a waste
Loud when gaming
Minimally flexible for future upgrades
More complex than a standalone console
Hefty power brick will need to be hidden away under some furniture
Cheaper configurations have limited upgrade potential
Sleek design, form factor, Good hardware, Decent overall performance
Expensive, Graphics could've been better, Older processor
The Alienware X51 sports a nice and compact chassis with good internal hardware. However, it isn't as stylish and over-the-top as previous Alienware desktops. Cutting down on Alienware�s characteristic excesses, the X51 aims to provide gamers a slim and...

The launch of Dell's latest desktop computer proves that big things do come in small packages. The overall Dell Alienware X51 Review shows that it is the perfect device that would give a tough competition to the PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles. It is...
Abstract: With a glossy front panel and a classy matte finish on the sides, the X51 is just as pretty standing upright as it is lying down flat. Attention to detail, with a logo that rotates with its orientation and customisable front and side lights, is impressive...

Abstract: Alienware's latest X51 gaming PC would not look out of place in an office.Yes, it still has the brand's distinctive alien head logo on the front, but the company shows uncharacteristic restraint by putting just a couple of LED lights on the X51.Also, unli...

Todos sus componentes son excelentes, lo que la hace una de las mejores desktops del mercado. Tiene un diseño llamativo, que incorpora muchas funciones para mejorar el desempeño
Su precio es elevado y no incluye el monitor, por lo que necesitas gastar más para completar la computadora
Esta Alienware es ideal para un gamer que quiera ser la envidia de los demás. No sólo tiene una torre con un diseño llamativo, también cuenta con componentes que te van a dejar disfrutar de todas las opciones de una computadora. Con su procesador Core ...
Compacto y silencioso, Rendimiento gráfico suficiente sin disparar excesivamente el precio, Puertos USB de alta velocidad
Sin lector de tarjetas, Para montar un procesador de última generación Ivy Bridge, hay que sumar 150 euros al precio, El transformador de energía es externo
Qualité de fabrication, Performances globales, Compacité
Bruyant en utilisation intensive, Chauffe beaucoup, Clavier et souris peu adaptés au jeu et plutôt entrée de gamme
L'Alienware X51 remporte son paris et offre à l'utilisateur une machine compacte et puissante. En contrepartie on doit faire avec une chauffe et des nuisances sonores assez conséquentes. On regrette également que la marque n'ait pas plus pris soin des pér...
L'Alienware X51 nous a séduits. Il est un peu cher dans cette version, mais qu'il est bon ! Moins bruyant, plus puissant, ce petit PC de bureau est disponible en cinq versions sur le site du constructeur. Seul trois d'entre elles sont vraiment taillés pou...
